Dear Chris,
Thank you for bringing these pieces to the attention of BCN.
I feel they certainly are nifty and fun. I like them very much...
& I find myself wondering how you decided to call the cloisonné bead:
#1."Japanese?" and #2."Meiji?"
If you get a chance during these busy Holidays,
please make a close up image of the aperture of the bead.
#3. Also, please provide the diameter of the bead.
#4. What is the measurement of the aperture?
Happy Solstice,
Just Fred
